Hanoi Cathedral in Vietnam

La Cattedrale di Hanoi

Hanoi Cathedral in Vietnam.
St. Joseph's Cathedral, a religious building that I did not expect to find in Vietnam.
However, if I have to tell the whole truth, I have found, here and there, Christian churches in this country that for several years was under French control.

With Gualtiero Offamilio the cathedral is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin represented in three different iconographies: one is the Dormition of the Mother of God or «Koimesis tes Theotokou» or «Dormitio Virginis», which belongs to the Byzantine tradition, the other two belonging to the Latin tradition: the Assumption and the Coronation in Heaven.

The interior of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo in Genoa

Interno della Cattedrale di San Lorenzo

The interior of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo in Genoa.
The most important church in Liguria is also the most majestic. This is the main altar.
Built in a style that could be called Ligurian, with alternating green and white marble, it is also very beautiful inside.
This is the main nave of the church and you can also see at the top the shield with the cross of St. George, protector of Genoa.

È famosa per il suo rosone e per la grandezza delle sue dimensioni. Misura all’incirca 120 metri di lunghezza, 70 di larghezza, con una superficie di 6.600 m². Le sue volte, alte ben 44 metri, sono fra le più alte al mondo. L’edificio è enorme e si misura tra le più grandi cattedrali europee, superato solo dalla cattedrale di Beauvais, la cattedrale gotica dalle volte più alte del mondo (48 m), e leggermente inferiore all’altezza del duomo di Milano (45 m); al contrario, batte la cattedrale di Colonia, le cui volte raggiungono i 43 metri.
